do you mean on that red one? They're BBS
Actually they are made by Image Wheels, the owner just installed BBS emblems on every wheel. :yesnod:

I hadn't even looked at the pics, just did now and it appears that there are new wheels on the car. There used to be somewhat similar wheels on there but I think they were non modular.

EDIT

I knew I wasn't high on crack:

Those are BBS wheels, i like the new ones much better :thumbs:

Thanks for the clarification Jay, I'm gonna check out the imagine wheels site

I checked out the Image Wheel site and they have a great selection of Wheels!!! Do you guys from Europe have an info on how good they are? They have a billet set similar to the 80 style which would be great on my 80 with Flares. I plan on 17 x in front and 17 by 10 in the rear.

They are widely used in Vintage racing and Classic car guys in the UK I've had chat with are saying they are excellent wheels. :cheers:

Groovyjay,

Thanks! Not sure how but my other post should have stated 17 x 9 for the front not 17 x .

I will email Image Wheel for info. I haven't found anyone in the US with simliar styles or sizes.
